Hunter College

Lew Frankfort, the chairman and CEO of Coach, Inc. received an honorary doctor of humane letters at Hunter’s graduation. He is a 1967 graduate of Hunter College. CBS News’ senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield delivered the commencement address.

Among those honored at Hunter’s graduation were the class salutatorian, Natalya Berezovskaya, who is graduating with a major in biochemistry and a 3.99 GPA. She was 7 years old when she and her family were forced to leave Moscow to escape rampant anti-Semitism and political unrest from the collapse of the Soviet Union. When they arrived in New York, Natalya spoke no English. While studying at Hunter full-time she also volunteered at hospitals throughout the city and developed a passion to become a doctor. This fall, Natalya will attend Stony Brook medical school on a prestigious Jonas Salk Scholarship, which she won for her outstanding research on DNA and the etiology of severals types of cancers.
